NFL team season
The 1941 Green Bay Packers season was their 23rd season overall and their 21st season in the National Football League . The team finished with a 10–1 record under founder and head coach Curly Lambeau , earning a tie for first place in the Western Conference with the defending league champion Chicago Bears . They split their season series, each winning on the road, and met in a playoff in Chicago to determine who would host the New York Giants in the NFL Championship Game . But the Packers lost 33–14 in the first post-season game ever played between the archrivals; the next came over 69 years later , in the NFC Championship game on January 22, 2011 .
